Although I have to ask: is it still technically a tweed deluxe if there's not tweed? 
The electronics/chassis I've documented here many months ago.
The longest part, by far, was building the cab. I wanted to use locally-sourced wood. I used timber that I felled myself and then turned into planks, laminated (width-wise, not thickness-wise like plywood of course), cut to size, etc. myself.
What made the process so long is that I'm not equipped for such work (I could do it but I'm not well equipped, meaning it never would've come out as nice as it did) and had to go work over at my dad's workshop (he's become quite the woodworker) which is equipped with everything I needed and then some. He's not that far from us but still it involved having the kids taken care of by my wife or somebody else and only on week-ends that my agenda allowed. All in all it took about 4 months of working on it a couple of hours every other week-end. I was in no hurry so it's all good.
Therefore, let me present to you guys my 5e3. The only mod done is a master-volume, otherwise it's stock (I may have lowered the caps a bit to remove some woofyness though). Locally sourced solid birch, including the baffle. Eminence Wizard. JJ tubes.
Quite a nice little machine I must say.
Knobs were way too shiny and looked out of place, so I dipped 'em in chloridric acid a bit.
Here it is, enjoy:
